The International Day of Charity is a global day watched every year on 5 September. It was proclaimed by the United Nations General Assembly in 2012. The prime motivation behind the International Day of Charity is to bring issues to light and give a typical stage to good cause related exercises everywhere on over the world for people, beneficent, humanitarian and volunteer associations for their own motivations on the neighborhood, public, provincial and worldwide level.

The International Day of Charity was imagined as a Hungarian common society activity upheld by the Hungarian Parliament and Government in 2011,[1] to improve perceivability, sort out extraordinary occasions, and thusly to build solidarity, social duty and open help for a noble cause.

September 5 was picked so as to remember the commemoration of the dying of Mother Teresa of Calcutta, who got the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979 “for work embraced in the battle to beat destitution and pain, which likewise comprise a danger to harmony.”

On 17 December 2012, in light of a proposition by Hungary, the United Nations General Assembly embraced a goal by agreement to assign 5 September as the International Day of Charity. The goal was co-supported by 44 UN Member States (Albania, Angola, Australia, Belarus, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Cambodia, Chile, Croatia, Dominican Republic, Eritrea, Estonia, Georgia, Greece, Guatemala, Honduras, Hungary, India, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Latvia, Lebanon, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Macedonia, Madagascar, Malta, Montenegro, Pakistan, Poland, Republic of Cyprus, Republic of Korea, Romania, Serbia, Singapore, Slovakia, Slovenia, Thailand, Turkey, Ukraine) speaking to each of the five Regional Groups of the United Nations.

In its goal, the General Assembly welcomed Member States, associations of the United Nations framework and other worldwide and provincial associations, partners, just as NGOs of the common society, to celebrate the International Day of Charity in a fitting way, by empowering noble cause, including through training and open mindfulness raising exercises.
